【重要講話】
要把修復(fù)長江生態(tài)環(huán)境擺在壓倒性位置。要加快建立生態(tài)產(chǎn)品價值實現(xiàn)機制,讓保護修復(fù)生態(tài)環(huán)境獲得合理回報,讓破壞生態(tài)環(huán)境付出相應(yīng)代價。
The restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River should be a major priority. The establishment of mechanism for value realization of ecological products should be accelerated whereby protection and restoration of the ecological environment shall be reasonably rewarded, while those responsible for the ecological environment destruction shall pay their due price.
